Off the top pf my head I can think of:
1) Basic Shimmy (right foot in front)
2) Ghawazee shimmy combo (flat feet)
3) Arabic shimmy and variations (WAT, fade, etc)
4) Turkish shimmy and TS WAT
5) Reverse shimmy
6) Shoulder shimmies
some extra questions:
a) in 1) for the "catwalk" (that means walking like a model, doesn´t it? ) right foot keeps going in front? or you alternate the feet?
b) in 3) do you REALLY do the shimmy AND the torso undulation, doesn't it look "unpolished" or not nice? especially when you are doing the WAT variation
THANKS!! :) A LOT!

Sat, September 1, 2012 - 2:53 AMYup, you really do the shimmy and the torso undulation! Although it's a chest lift and subtle roll rather than a full-on bodywave.

Re: Shimmies. How many ATS shimmies are there?
Sun, September 9, 2012 - 10:30 AMYour list sounds about right.
a) The "catwalk" style of walking with the shimmy is one foot in front of the other, not just the right foot. You're walking in a straight line and maybe even crossing a little bit. Give a little bit of a pigeon toe effect, but gives the hips a nice bounce.
b) Yes, the Arabic still happens while you are layering with the shimmy for the Arabic Shimmy. The trick is to keep the shimmy out of the upper body so you still get the lift and undulation. Shimmy happens on each step and is located only in the hips. -

Re: Shimmies. How many ATS shimmies are there?
Sat, September 22, 2012 - 1:15 PMNo such thing in ATS. Are you thinking of the alternating hips with level? The alternating hips without level can happen sometimes at the end of a song, but it is not considered a "movement" that is part of the vocabulary. Just an embellishment that is rarely used. -

Yes, that's what I meant. I had always believed it to be part of the shimmy family ...

Mon, September 24, 2012 - 10:36 AMIs the 1/2 time shimmy counted? For example, in the new Box Step, didn't Devi describe it as a 1/2 time shimmy? -
